Icon17 When your shirt's patina matches your watch
I have this ancient checkered shirt i bought in Texas with mother of pearl imitation buttons.

They've now turned a nice creamy yellow

Goes great with my 1981 16750

The shirts OK, it looks like the snaps have been replaced at an earlier service

Please, please don't post any "vintage" 1970s dress shirts in that "off-white"/yellow colour to match patina! Goodness no.

The shirt looks older than the watch - looks like a 1960's vintage shirt. But then again, what is old is new again!

Nice watch!!!
